Items related to Barack Obama and the Rhetoric of Hope
Synopsis
The "rhetoric of hope" is a form of political discourse characterized by a forward-looking vision of social progress brought about by collective effort and adherence to shared values (including discipline, temperance, a strong work ethic, self-reliance, and service to the community). This book traces the historical and literary antecedents of the President's campaign rhetoric to the utopian traditions of the Western world.
By combining his own personal story (as the biracial son of a white mother from Kansas and a black father from Kenya) with national mythologies such as the American Dream, Obama creates a persona that embodies the moral values and cultural mythos of his implied audience. In doing so, he draws upon Judeo-Christianity; the European Enlightenment; the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights; the presidencies of Jefferson, Lincoln, and FDR; the Black church and Civil Rights Movement; and popular culture.
